Another who also stood out for the Angels at the post was Jared Walsh, who hit a triple, double and home run in six visits to the plate, with a couple of runs scored and the same number of RBIs; staying one single away from completing his second cycle of the season.
Can’t find the formula
The Angels, however, who came from behind a couple of times in the game; they could not maintain the tie on the board and woke up this Wednesday as eighth in the new circuit in hits allowed (546), with the fifth highest number of runs allowed (298) and the third highest number of home runs (13).
However, with this new defeat; the number 38 of the season for the “seraphim”, they are placed five games below .500 and drop to third place in the American League West.
